<h1>🌾 The Great Flood That Helped</h1>
<h2>Week 2 • Tuesday • How the Nile Fed Egypt</h2>
<section class="lesson-section">
<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>Most floods are bad news — but not in ancient Egypt! Every summer, the Nile River rose and spilled over its banks. The Egyptians were not scared. They cheered! They knew the flood was coming, and they counted on it every single year.</p>
<p>When the water went back down, it left behind a layer of soft, black mud called <strong>silt</strong>. This mud was packed with everything plants need to grow. Egyptians called their land <strong>Kemet</strong>, which means 'the black land,' because of this rich dark soil.</p>
<p>In the black soil, farmers grew wheat for bread, barley, beans, onions, and melons. The dry desert beyond was called 'the red land.' Nothing grew there. So the flood was truly a gift — it turned a strip of desert into a garden!</p>
